There are a number of reasons for this.

Rivian’s status as an early stage electric truck maker provides for an intriguing growth trajectory for investors. Pick-up trucks remain a top-selling vehicle type in the U.S. And Rivian’s upscale design and purported technological innovation could enable these vehicles to take over the market.

Rivian was founded in 2009, and is a company that’s generated a tremendous amount of attention over the past decade. Indeed, this attention comes not only from investors, but industry leaders as well.

Rivian has garnered investments from Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Ford (NYSE:F). Amazon’s stake in Rivian is reported to be 20%, a significant bet on an emerging sector with tremendous long-term growth potential.

Accordingly, if Amazon’s on board, one can expect investors to get excited about this one.
